Effects of drugs
The new federal ban on “false crucible” is a positive step, a senator from Nebraska, said. But still plans to push a state law banning such products. U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said it would make it illegal to sell or possess five chemicals used in a fake pot, along with products that contain them. “I am pleased with the DEA shut down the emergency ban,” said Senator McCoy Beau Omaha.
But despite the DEA’s action of the five most commonly used chemicals in the product addresses, he said, manufacturers tend to have enough change in their chemical formulas to ensure that they are not prohibited. “Our legislation to eradicate when it comes after the chemical group,” not only specific chemicals, McCoy said Friday. In the past year, the DEA said, mixtures of herbs for smoking – marketed as providing a legal and marijuana use and high – are increasingly popular. The products consist of plant material coated with chemicals that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana mimic. Brands like K2 incense, herbs, Blaze and Red Dawn X are labeled “incense” to mask their destination, the DEA said.
The chemicals are not approved by the Food and Effects of Drug Administration for human consumption, the DEA, he said, and no supervision of the manufacturing process. Peithman Allen, owner of Dirt Cheap, a shop in Lincoln, snuff and shirts, among other markets, said it would stop selling herbal incense, because the decision of the DEA. Marketing herbal incense around half of economic activity, Peithman said. “I will the extra money missing, say,” he said. McCoy said the DEA, local law enforcement agencies and the Office of the Attorney General of Nebraska, helped develop the Nebraska law, which will be introduced when the legislators meet in January. This summer, the Iowa Pharmacy Board banned the sale of synthetic cannabinoids, the active compounds in marijuana. Few people in the region know much about fake pot one year ago, McCoy said. “It is a big problem become in the last six months to one year, “he said. Peithman such products, one of the specific chemicals, JWH-018 are, are almost nine years. Similar products have been available for decades, he said.
McCoy said that people who have used the drug have a higher heart rate and experienced hallucinations. “Who knows what the long-term effects of these compounds?” He said. These symptoms are associated with marijuana use, Peithman said. “If the pot was a band, this material would be a reserve,” he said. “It’s not so good.” McCoy said two reports on the environment teens apparently used fake pot helped encourage him to craft the legislation. He cited the case of a 16-year-old Sidney, Nebraska, which crashed into a house in late September after the use of K2. Fortunately, McCoy said, no one was injured. He said the suicide of a 18-year-old Indianola, Iowa, in June was pegged to use K2 incense.
“We must do everything possible to stop it,” said Carter said. Paul, executive director of PRIDE Omaha, an anti-drug group, in a press release that his group welcomes the action by the DEA. He said the packages of fake pot marked “unfit for human consumption, but the product has become popular among young people who think that it could not hurt them because it is” legal. “NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the growing popularity of these products is” a foreseeable result of criminal marijuana prohibition.”
